Fantasy managers are eased into a sunny Saturday’s action with an encounter at the bet365 Stadium between Stoke City and Crystal Palace.
For the Potters, this is a vital match with three points the target to give them any real hope of scrambling free of the relegation spots.
But in Fantasy terms, this is a low impact affair.
Indeed, Wilfried Zaha is the most signed player on show having claimed 43,000+ new owners ahead of Friday’s deadline. His recent form of four goals and an assist from his last four Gameweeks has inspired that investment and he will clearly be the main threat to Stoke’s defence today.
Luka Milivojevic is the other major Palace asset.
He remains part of 758,000+ FPL squads, although the Serb suffered considerable sales before Friday’s deadline with 97,000+ managers moving him out making him the fifth most sold player.
That exodus comes following last weekend’s decision to surrender spot-kick duties to Christian Benteke for the Eagles fifth goal in the victory over Leicester City.
Xherdan Shaqiri remains Stoke’s big Fantasy attraction. The Swiss midfielder is retained by 495,000+ managers ahead of today’s match, despite suffering ownership losses of almost 90,000 over the last two Gameweeks.
